Paul O'Grady fans have been left gutted after it was announced that he is to step down from his BBC Radio 2 show. The TV and radio star has spent 14 years on the station but is set to hang up his headphones in a matter of days.
He'll host his last show on Sunday, August 14, just a few days after the official announcement was made today, Tuesday, August 9. Radio 2 took to social media to share Paul's statement, writing: "We’re sad to say that after 14 years on Sunday afternoons, Paul O’Grady has decided to leave Radio 2.
"We wish Paul the very best of luck and hope to work with him again in the future." In his own message, For the Love of Dogs star Paul said: "I’ve loved doing my Sunday afternoon show for the last 14 years and I’m going to miss my listeners as well as the fun I’ve had with my producer Malcolm Prince, but I feel that now is the right time to go."
